Do you know what this week is?

Sunday, was the first day of this year’s National Police Week, which honors Police Officer’s who have died in the line of duty along with showing support to the families of fallen officers. It is also a time to show support to active law enforcement. Here you can find a list of names that will be added to the memorial wall tonight during a candle light vigil. Here are pictures of last year’s memorial. National Peace Officers’ Memorial Day is on May 15th. A black band is worn over the badge to symbolize mourning for fallen officers. Also on Thursday you might notice that there are flags flying half-mast this is because President Bill Clinton signed Public Law 103-322, which says that the flag of the United States on all Government buildings be displayed at half-mast on May 15 for National Peace Officers' Memorial Day.

I hate that we have to honor fallen Officiers but I love that we as a Country know and value their sacrifices.

I echo above about your being an amazing wife......just not the brother part cause he's not my brother "wanna see the stretch marks" - yeah he never did either but it worked to get him to do stuff for me.
